Tomes will tell: books that predict the future

What might the future hold for humanity?

For years, authors have variously speculated, predicted and mused on the topic

Our @economist.com writers inc Rosie Blau, @eaterofsun.bsky.social and @shashj.bsky.social sieve out the books they think get it about right

What books should you read to predict the future? Let novels and non-fiction be your guide to what’s to come

I'm not wild about the title that's been given to this @economist.com podcast: I'd prefer "prepare for the future" than "predict the future". But I greatly enjoyed recording it with the wonderful Rosie Blau, @shashj.bsky.social and @rorygalloway.bsky.social

What he found there was truly shocking

Listen to The Intelligence tomorrow to hear Gareth Browne speak about the appalling conditions in Saidnaya prison, and how he became one of the first international journalists inside it

The truth about raw milk and why experts are ‘absolutely horrified’ by the trend US officials recently detected bird flu in raw milk. Meanwhile, TikTok and RFK Jr are touting its supposed health benefits

Louis Pasteur would be horrified at this current trend. If you want to drink it and risk dying, I am all for reducing the population, but I beg of you... please don't give it to your kids.

Legally bombed: Trump cases dropped | The Intelligence from The Economist

I went on @economist.com's podcast, The Intelligence, to talk about the quiet re-emergence of iodine deficiency. Luckily, we know how to solve it! A few highlights: 🧵

I love the gannet

Some exciting news from @economist.com. All American service members—all 1.3m active duty, and those retired—now have free access to The Economist's website, thanks to a deal with DoD. If I'm not mistaken, you can access it through DoD's library pages: www.dodmwrlibraries.org. Happy reading.

Very kind. I’ll take that

I did, in fact, deeply enjoyed being that guy

Because people should spend more time watching pigs before telling - admittedly delightful - zoologically inaccurate stories

The Intelligence dives into the bill that could put Britain on the path to legalising assisted dying tomorrow morning

@georgiabanjo.bsky.social has reported from a trip to Australia where a similar bill has already passed

@economist.com

Suddenly realised you requested ‘new’ so ignore the first one

I hate to be that guy… but here’s a pig looking up

Same! Not sure how it's happening, but it feels like the same place... just without Elon Musk posts forced into my feed.
